In this life change journey, 16 months and counting, I’ve learned a lot about myself, noticed a lot of changes and forced myself to do things that I didn’t think were possible at any point and time when I was closing in on 400 pounds. Some are small changes, like the toning in my shoulders […]

  Whatever the circumstances that inspired (hopefully not forced) veteran NBA center Jason Collins to publicly announce in a well-written Sports Illustrated essay this week that he is gay should be commended and not lost in a sea of public debate.

Photo courtesy of The News Journal Saturday afternoon was more than just a state championship game to Wilmington, Delaware residents of a certain age. Howard High School of Technology, almost 20 years into its third incarnation, played David to Sanford School’s Goliath, slaying the three-time defending Delaware boys basketball champs 81-62, giving the Wildcats their […]
